SMALLEST POSTOFFICE IN THE WORLD The smallest simplest and best protected post office in the world is said to be that in the Straits of Magellan It consists of a small painted keg or cask and is chained to the rock of the cape in such a manner that it floats free opposite Tierra del Fuego Each passing ship sends a Iwat to take letters and put others in This curious postof f ice is unprovided with a postmaster and is therefore under the protection of all the navies of the world Never in the history of this unique office have its privileges been abused
